Enter into the forbidden world of the Harem, a place that was "hidden", a segregated place for women that existed in many cultures around the world.

Explore these secret, gilded cages with presenter Lianne Harris as she draws back the veil and reveals the rules, obligations, political agendas, and mysteries of harem culture in Turkey, India and China, and learn of real women - and the men - who were destined to live behind its uncompromising walls.

Lianne has been a history, culture and social studies resource specialist with the Toronto District School Board for almost 20 years and has been the guest instructor and workshop leader for teachers across many boards in Southern Ontario. To date, usually dressed in authentic period clothing, she has taught over 50,000 teachers and students. In 2003, she was selected by W.O.M.A.D. as one of Toronto's Women of Influence.

Thursday Evening Film Series:
"Kon-Tiki" (2012)

Thursday, January 16, 2014 - 6:30 p.m.

Rated: PG-13, 118 min. Adventure | History

Plot Summary from IMDb. "The Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific Ocean in a balsawood raft in 1947, together with five men, to prove that South Americans back in pre-Columbian times could have crossed the ocean and settled on Polynesian islands. After financing the trips with loans and donations, they set off on an epic 101-day-long trip across 8000 kilometers, while the world was waiting for the result of the trip. The film tells about the origin of the idea, the preparations, and the events on the trip. The "Kon-Tiki" was named after the Inca sun god, Viracocha, and "Kon-Tiki" is an old name for this god.

Heyerdahl filmed the expedition, which later became the Academy Award winning documentary in 1951, and he wrote a book about the expedition that was translated into 70 languages and sold more than 50 millions copies around the world. Heyerdahl believed that people from South America could have settled Polynesia in pre-Columbian times, although most anthropologists now believe they did not. Anyway he proved that it was possible by using only the materials and technologies available to those people at that time. The trip took 101 days over 4,300 miles across the Pacific Ocean before the "Kon-Tiki" crashed onto the dangerous reefs outside Raroia in the Tuamotu Islands on August 7, 1947. All crewmen survived, and the "Kon-Tiki" was taken back to Norway. She is now featured in the Kon-Tiki Museum." ~ Written by OJT.

Plot Summary from IMDb. "Gianni is sixty. He is retired but has not become lazy for all that. In fact he is a helpful fellow who gives a hand to all those who need one: shopping for his wife, walking the pretty neighbor's dog, and so on. Everybody likes Gianni, but is it for the right reasons? Doesn't his wife profit by the situation (she still works so it is only logical that Gianni do all the chores)? Isn't he subject to the excruciating whims of his rich mother?... Sure, everybody LIKES Gianni, but who LOVES him? Agreed, being kind to them, he is the ladies pet, but he does not attract them anymore. That is why, when his macho lawyer friend Alfonso blames him for not having young mistresses "like every other senior Italian male", Gianni, who is beginning to ask himself questions about what it is like to become old, starts chasing dames. ~ Written by Guy Bellinger.

Winter 2014 Lectures
Climate Change Heads to the Coast:
Managing Ecosystems at the Water’s Edge
by Professor Liette Vasseur

Professor Liette Vasseur, BSc, MSc, PhD

Thursday, February 6, 2014 - 7:30 - 8:30 p.m.

Climate change affects different parts of Canada in different ways. Predictions indicate that Southern Ontario will experience more droughts and heavy rainfalls that can greatly affect ecosystems and especially plants. In Atlantic Canada, sea level rise, continuous coastal erosion and more frequent storm surges threaten the fragile coastal ecosystem. Professor Vasseur will describe some of the projects that she is involved with to examine the potential impacts of climate change on the human condition in Ontario and Atlantic Canada, and the actions taken to try to adapt and improve resilience of communities and ecosystems.

Communities along Canada's shorelines are already adapting to climate change. Dr. Vasseur will discuss how scientists, policy-makers and communities can best work together to manage ecosystems at the water's edge.

Admission is FREE. No registration required. This program is presented in partnership with the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science (RCI).

Please note the Sheridan Parking instructions below:

Unlike traditional pay stations, Sheridan's new, blue solar-powered 'Pay-by-Plate' pay stations use license plate recognition (LPR) technology to validate parking time. The pay station does not generate a time-stamped paper permit for your dashboard:
1. Park your vehicle in a designated parking lot. Remember to lock it (you won't have to return to place a permit on the dashboard).
2. Proceed to a Pay Station. Key-in your plate number and pay for the time you need.
3. Go! Proceed inside (no need to return to your vehicle to display a paper ticket).

For your convenience, parking time can be 'topped up' at any pay station on campus by re-entering your license plate number. Pay Stations accept VISA and MasterCard, and $1, $2 and $0.25 coins.

It is strongly recommended to have your method of payment ready before inputting your licence plate number, as the machine only allows you a few seconds to pay.

Beyond Hollywood Movie:
"Cooking with Stella"
(2009, Languages: English and Hindi, Canada)

Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - 6:30 p.m.

Rated: PG, 104 min - Comedy | Drama

Plot Summary from IMDb. "As head housekeeper at a diplomatic residence in New Delhi, Stella serves up delectable dishes to a succession of Ottawa civil servants. But while she sets a divine table, some of her other activities are less above board. Through finely orchestrated duplicity, she skims inflated bills to pad her modest salary and raids her employers' pantry for her own "duty free" business. Each night, the devout Christian impishly prays to the Virgin Mary to bless her crooked schemes. The arrival of Maya and Michael initially disrupts Stella's routine. To her surprise, the wife is the diplomat while the husband stays home to look after their baby daughter. Even more shocking, he has designs on her kitchen! When Michael, a trained chef, discovers Stella's culinary talents, he asks her to be his guru and teach him the secrets of authentic Indian cooking. She warily agrees to this breach in master-servant protocol, and as the two begin whipping up mouthwatering curries and dosas together, her trepidation eventually turns to pleasure. Meanwhile, the beautiful and virtuous Tannu joins the household to care for the baby. Can Stella make her an ally in domestic subterfuge, or will the honest young nanny topple the kitchen kingpin? Determined to protect her turf, Stella plots her sliest and most ambitious ruse yet." ~ Written by Anonymous.

"Pacific Rim" (2013)

Thursday, February 20, 2014 - 6:30 p.m.

Rated: PG-13, 131 min - Action | Adventure | Sci-Fi

Plot Summary from IMDb. "For years, Earth is repeatedly attacked by giant monsters called Kaiju that emerge from a portal beneath the Pacific Ocean. The only effective defense is the Jaeger program, massive complex robots that require pairs of neural-linked pilots. However, as each Kaiju attack becomes more powerful and frequent, Humanity must change its tactics. To that end, former Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket is reactivated as part of a desperate plan to destroy the portal. As Raleigh strives to heal his inner scars and help his new partner conquer hers, an intrepid scientist discovers a way to link to the Kaiju's mind to learn about them. Unfortunately, that proves a mixed blessing as vital information of both sides is inadvertently shared and the stakes rise for a final battle." ~ Written by Kenneth Chisholm.

This film is directed by Julian Fellowes, who also directed Downton Abbey.

Rated: R, 137 min - Drama | Mystery

Plot Summary from IMDb. "Sir William McCordle is a wealthy but uncouth industrialist-turned-aristocrat, with a large house in the English countryside, complete with staff. It is a world where everything runs in order - both upstairs, where Sir William and his much younger wife Lady Sylvia indulge in a very comfortable existence of shooting, dinners and parties, and downstairs, where the servants work endlessly under the command of the butler Mr. Jennings, and the house keeper Mrs. Wilson. Whether they like it or not, everyone knows their place. But a shooting party will change all of that, with friends of the McCordles and their servants arriving from outside to upset the order. And so begins a complicated tale of secrets, lies, deceit, betrayal, revenge, bitterness, hatred, money and love - and that's all before the murder." ~ Written by Scott.

Pay Stations accept VISA, American Express, MasterCard and $1, $2 and $0.25 coins.

This causes symptoms of extreme fatigue, joint pain, muscle aches, anemia, general malaise, and can result in the destruction of vital organs. It is a disease with many manifestations, and each person's profile or list of symptoms is different. It is often referred to as "The Disease of a 1000 Faces.? ~ Info from: Lupus Ontario.

There were four people from RAMA Gaming Centre who helped us with the Bingo games and answered any questions we had. They were friendly, cheerful, patient, and most helpful. The prizes were numerous and HUGE! The Bar Bingo was different. We listened to famous music and tried to figure out whose music or voice that was and dab the Bingo Card accordingly: Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Mathis, The Platters, etc. Thank you, VIVA Mississauga!
